We're only talking about this as the 'wrong type' of people used it.
And I don't believe anyone who uses Facebook regularly does not understand that their information is used for marketing purposes.Comment

I believe that pretty much everyone that uses Facebook understands the rules, half of everyone's feeds are adverts so it's not as if they hide it.
I don't expect anyone to understand the data graphing and the deep learning tulip but, data sold to advertisers, yes I think they all knew.
What this story presents to me more than anything else is the daily rage news cycle. We're being presented with fact, known fact about Facebook has always operated and somehow there is now outrage built up around that.
I see the newspapers and TV stations that are building this outrage as having a pretty strong motive to diminish the reputation of online advertising. Funny that.
Tomorrow we'll be given some other daily news to rage about.Comment

We voted to leave
She lost
Get over it
I very clearly remember during both elections that the media and social networks were massively biased towards the sides that lost - and they still lost
These elections are going the way they are because the establishment have failed the people and the people have had enough.
For the record - here is:
And of course there is this January 2016 admission from John Podesta telling the Facebook COO that he is looking forward to "working with you to elect the first woman President of the United States."
and Obama's Former Campaign Director Makes Bombshell Claim: Facebook Was "On Our Side"
But keep on bleating about fake news/Russian hackers & trolls etc."Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like? If that is the case then we have free speech."- Elon MuskComment
